Hello, thanks for this thread, I always wanted to write this.
-Screen:
I don't know why people are so keen about capacitive screens. I want to use my tablet with a stylus or with my fingernails not with a sausage. I also want a pressure sensitive screen for drawing. So I think resistive is much better than capacitive. Multitouch is cool but not really necessary. I prefer pocketable Tablets, so screen with 4.3 to 5 inches are good, like the dell streak. resoloution not too extreme high but still with a good Image quality. I'm fine with the n900s res: 800x400 on a 3.5 screen. I also think AMOLED screens are really nice, like the Galaxy S.
-OS
Definetly open source or mostly open. Ubuntu, MeeGo and other Linux based OS are one of the main factors to me. I'll never buy a Windows Tablet/Phone. I don't have expierence with Android. I think it would be better than having Windows, but I still prefer a real Linux.
-Software
Multimedia, Phone and everything else. I want a device that does everything. And ofcorse with root acces.
-Hardware
I'd love a 4 row qwerty (or qwertz in my case) Keyboard to slide up.
Ofcorse micro USB and front camera. Main camera should take good pictures 15mp minimum
-Manufacturer
First: I'm not a big fanboy or hater. But Im never going to buy an Apple product. I like Nokia, Intel, HP, Samsung ond others. I don't really care as long as its good. But I also like to support some homebrew stuff like the Open Pandora.
-Price
For a really good device, that can do everything I want and more, I would pay 700-1000$. (+200$ for a real Digicam as mentioned above).
It's also Important to me to have a strong community that does everything on it's own. And for that an open OS is needed. I don't want a coorporation that tells me what I must do and what not from above.
You see: I'm describing what I want as the n900 sucessor.
I'm not keen on a tablet PC device like the iPad or other 10 inch+ tablets. I think these kind of devices are pretty usesless.
Lol I feel like a child on Santa Claus lap, telling him what I want for Chritsmas
And one last thing: I apologize that my english is not perfect, as it's not my first language. I hope you still understand what I mean.

In only regards to the touch screen itself, I want:
- Modularity based on industry standards of size and interface
- Open source drivers
- Scratch proof
- One of the following
- A hybrid capacitive/resistive screen that I could control all functions of both technologies as I see fit.
- A screen with new technology that has all of the good and none of the bad of the above mentioned technologies.

"What you want from a touch screen device ?"
I want a inflatable bed, a bar and a toilet.
I don't want the options to make calls, browse the net, send mail or use a calendar. The most important is that its Open Source. Least important is its usefulness.

- Screen
Not especially bothered about the touchscreen technology, as long as it works. N8x0 seems to e the sweetsport for me. We also have 3.5 and 3.2 touchscreen devices at home, and I always reach for the N810, but it is also still small enough to be pocketable. The screen also needs to be transflective, or some other tech to make it readable in decent daylight, full on sunshine is asking a lot, but so many devices are not readable in normal daylight.
- OS
Apps are more important. equally so though is the knowledge that the device will be supported offically for bug fixes for a decent amount of time. broad app compatibity between versions of what is essentially the same OS is something else which is important, imagine a new version of android, iOS, or ubuntu even, and have no app compatibility.
- Software Features/applications
Main uses for me are music playback & internet radio, email, twitter, chat, and general personal use, and Maps and navigation, combined with sports tracking.
- Hardware features
After using an N810 for almost a year, a decent physical keyboard is a must. A decent camera would be a must on a new device. Don't need a front facing camera as I have never used the one I have. A couple of MicroSD slots would be an improvement over a single slot. I would forgo built in mass storage for a cheaper device with multiple card slots (N800 style). GPS is a must as well for the Maps and navigation.
- Price/Manufacturer
Price is always an issue (I'm married!). cheaper the better. Phone type device over here in the UK tend to available free with mobile contracts, and the norm is becoming 2 years. A device needs to try and be relevant, with bugfix support (at least) from the manufacture for that time. The N900 has only been out a little over 8 months, and the OS is rendered obsolete with no offical upgrade to the next one. Things like that do not make one want to commit to a 2 year contract for one!
Summary, and my perfect device (using current tech)
N810 form factor (4.3 screen, slider, physical keyboard),
2 microsd slots instead of the 2gb internal memory, and the minisd slot
More memory for the OS (512mb perhaps)
Add a decent Camera module - 5 8 mp
FM receiver
Headset remote control (like the nokia AD-54 remote)
TV out - optional
FM transmitter - optional
A dock connector, to utilize all the stuff with ipod dock connectors would be great
To me the right device is what ever lets me do what I want with the least amount of effort and pain. Currently for me, the closest is the N810.
The above hardware with Maemo5 or Meego, would be it for me.
